What Is Good Teaching? This issue of Emphasis on teaching focuses on the four essential qualities thatdistinguish exceptional teachers knowledge, communication skills, http://www.bygpub.com/eot/eot1.htm
Extractions: What is Good Teaching? All students have had hundreds of teachers in their lifetimes. A very few of these teachers they remember as being exceptionally good. What are the qualities that combine to create an excellent, memorable teacher? Why do some teachers inspire students to work three times harder than they normally would, while others inspire students to skip class? Why do students learn more from some teachers than others? If you are trying to become a better teacher, these are important questions. This issue of "Emphasis on Teaching" focuses on the four essential qualities that distinguish exceptional teachers: knowledge, communication skills, interest, and respect for students. Here's an experiment I have done in a number of my classes. The results may surprise you. Go into one of the classes you are teaching and have your students take out a sheet of paper. Ask them to list for you the qualities they feel are important in a good teacher. Ask them to identify the qualities they admire in the best teachers they have had. Then give the students enough time to think about it and write something down. Five minutes is good, but ten might be better. Let them answer the questions anonymously if they desire. What you will get if you combine all of the responses is a fascinating collage of ideas. I have found that most of the responses fall into two specific categories: 1) a set of "core qualities" that students recognize in good teachers, and 2) a set of specific skills that are developed by good teachers.
NSTA - View Position Statement Develop robust science knowledge and skills beyond the depth and breadth needed reflects the importance of science teaching as an essential profession http://www.nsta.org/positionstatement&psid=42
Extractions: Introduction To ensure that all students have sufficient knowledge and skills in science and technology for success in the 21st century, the nation must attract, prepare, and retain well-educated, effective preK-12 science teachers. Thus, the National Science Teachers Association (NSTA) considers strong, performance-based science teacher education program and science teacher licensure standards to be essential for all science teachers, including new and recent college graduates and those entering teaching from another profession. Based upon well-defined, commonly accepted professional standards, such programs will provide a foundation upon which teachers may build throughout their professional lives. NSTA supports teacher preparation aligned with the goals and guidance provided by the National Science Education Standards (National Research Council 1996) and Educating Teachers of Science, Mathematics, and Technology: New practices for the new millennium

Extractions: P-10 Curriculum and Standards Assessment ... Support Materials Victoria now has a set of essential standards which are divided into 16 domains across three strands, Physical, Personal and Social Learning, Discipline-based Learning and Interdisciplinary Learning. It is a requirement that all schools address these standards in their teaching programs and in their assessment and reporting practices from 2006. The Victorian Essential Learning Standards Sample Units have been developed to exemplify ways of using the new curriculum to develop teaching and learning activities and illustrate appropriate assessment in relation to specific standards over Levels 1 to 6. These units reflect the integrated learning approach central to the Standards, in particular the need for student-centred activities that weave the three strands into school teaching and learning programs. They illustrate and exemplify the inherent and dynamic relationships between learning domains and show how this interrelatedness supports deeper understanding, and more meaningful and engaging contexts for learning.
Extractions: Home Introducing the Victorian Essential Learning Standards was produced by the VCAA and distributed to schools in December 2004 to accompany the release of the first stage of the new approach to curriculum. It provides an outline of the rationale and structure of the Victorian Essential Learning Standards . Schools received additional copies in January 2005 of this useful and informative publication. The booklet is reproduced as a web page below for online reading, copying or printing. A PDF version is also available for download What are the Victorian Essential Learning Standards The Victorian Essential Learning Standards describe what is essential for all students to achieve from Prep to Year 10 in Victorian schools. The Learning Standards provide a framework for planning the whole school curriculum by setting out standards for students to achieve in core areas. Schools will be able to use the Learning Standards to plan their teaching and learning programs, including assessment and reporting of student achievement and progress.
JOLT - Journal Of Online Learning And Teaching demonstrate meaningful application of essential knowledge and skills, In other words, acquiring a body of knowledge and skills is not sufficient. http://taste.merlot.org/portal/jolt/vol1_no1_mueller.htm
Extractions: Naperville, IL 60540 Abstract To support learning about assessment for all educators, I wrote, created and published online the Authentic Assessment Toolbox, a how-to text on creating authentic tasks, rubrics and standards for measuring and improving student learning. The site can assist faculty development by exposing educators to the process and rationale for an alternative (authentic) model of assessment in which students are asked to perform real-world tasks which demonstrate meaningful application of essential knowledge and skills, and by describing and providing examples of how to construct such authentic assessments. Additionally, the Toolbox can benefit student learning by suggesting methods for promoting student engagement in substantial learning that connects to real-world applications students will recognize and value, and by describing tools (e.g., rubrics) that students can apply to their own work to gauge progress and achievement. Introduction It is an interesting paradox that higher education, through the theory, research and writing of its faculty, often provides many of the frameworks for innovation in K-12 education, yet often trails behind elementary and secondary education in adopting many of these innovations. Assessment is a good example. Although educational researchers and theorists in higher education promoted alternatives to the traditional approach to assessment still commonly found throughout our entire educational system, the systematic development of standards (or outcomes, as they are commonly referred to in higher education) and alternative assessments aligned to those standards is only recently being considered on a national level in higher education, and partly only because of significant prodding from external agencies (e.g., accrediting bodies).
